that seal n peal looks way to shady for me... seems like it'd be hard to close during winter. If you went with the Lund Genesis line, go with the roll up kind (a replica of the Access cover). Then again, for a few bucks difference why not go with the real deal with the lifetime warranty. hate to sound like a spokesman for Access, just trying to pass on my experience to a guy in the same spot i was in 6 months ago

AF HEMI - not to change the original focus of this thread but do you know of any manufacturer of the top quality soft covers that makes one with the RAM, DODGE, HEMI or MOPAR logo on it? I would love to have one and I've been looking for years - but no luck so far.
Thanks,
toxdoc

I have an Extang Full Tilt that is a great cover, but I bought a cap so the Extang (used less than a year) sits in the garage for sale ($250). If anyone's interested PM me and I can send you pics and details. These are really great covers for easy access to the bed if you don't want to deal with snaps, especially in the winter when they're cold,

Is that a hinged style like the hard covers? I need a roll up or something easy to remove for ATV hauling duty.

i just searched for a couple minutes and couldnt find anything. sounds like an awesome idea though. i know duplicolor makes a paint for vinyls and stuff. i wonder if you could paint one on yourself and how well it would last (or look for that matter). lemme know if you find somethin

Maybe a place that does silkscreening on Jackets/t-shirts and stuff could do it.

It does both. The (watertight) frame is hinged and rises on two pistons for easy access to the bed, but you can also roll up the cover and pop out the bows, leaving the frame in place. It removes by popping the pistons off a ball type socket, then standing it straight up in the mounting track (at the front of the bed). Then you lift it right off the truck, and put it back the same way. Takes less than 2 minutes...

Everyone that I know with a Truxedo cover loves them and say they hold up well. I have an Astro Truck Covers hard tonneau and love it, but access to the bed is a problem. I take it off in the warm months. Got it on Craigslist for $50.

I've had my Extang cover (rolls up) for about a year and a half and it still looks like new
